- To make the simple syrup, 1 cup each of granulated sugar and water to a small pot. (If you are making this for 8 people, double this amount.) Stir over medium high heat until the sugar has dissolved. Pour into a container and cool in the freezer for 10 minutes before using. Any leftovers can be stored in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- To make this for a small child, add more orange juice to their glass to reduce the spiciness.
